Hotbotz Autonomous Test

First tests of the autonomous routine...still some tweaking to do, but it's hitting 3 out of 3 every time.

If possible you should put chains, and a box on your goal. Shots bouncing out is a nasty surprise.

That's a good point - the discs are hitting pretty fast from the close starting distance. We'll check that out today.

Looking good! Can it also climb the tower?

Re: Hotbotz Autonomous Test

We haven't climbed "in totality" yet, but have executed all the pieces of a successful climb. We were ready yesterday to put it all together but we read a sensor input incorrectly and the climb mechanism ran too far, bending the drive shaft. Hopefully we'll have the new shaft machined this morning, and finish the climb tonight.

This has been one heck of a challenge! I think this will be a very exciting game to watch.
